Ten people, including a South Euclid man, from 13 companies were indicted Tuesday on multiple charges relating to the operation of a Cleveland charter high school.

Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy J. McGinty said the 32-count indictment included charges of engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, conspiracy to engage in a pattern of corrupt activity, theft by deception, money laundering and unlawful interest in a public contract.

Between July 2004 and June 2010, payments made to 13 "shell companies" affiliated with board members of the Cleveland Academy of Scholarship, Technology and Leadership Enterprise were not documented and the state auditor issued findings for recovery of $1,850,489, according to the indictment.

Stanley Jackson, 38, of South Euclid, was a school board member and the authorized signatory on bank accounts for a number of companies. CASTLE issued 30 checks to those companies totaling $200,000 without evidence that services were provided, the indictment states.
